Hi @erik_jan

I'm using the Fanout expression(PLAN_NO) in FME writer to produce the DWG tiles, Fanout expression is working as expected(SD7527.dwg) . But all I need is to prefix the name 'GIS-' in the Fanout Expression, so that i need the DWG Tiles to display as GIS-SD7527.dwg . Is there any custom option in FME writer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, Anil.

You just want to add a prefix to the expression? You can just type your required prefix in the fanout expression then add your @ value attribute afterwards

And use @Value with the capital V, or it will not work.
